At this time of year, some customers ask us about 16-month academic planners. We don’t offer them, in part because we find them a bit wasteful: The pages for months 13 to 16 don’t usually get used since they get replaced by the next planner that starts next August or September. We also have a different way to keep track of future appointments.

We offer “Future month” Extra pages. You can add these anywhere in your agendio, although the best spot is right after your calendared pages. They serve the same purpose as the pages for months 13 to 16, but in a leaner way, leading to a slimmer and lighter planner.

You can use them to write down your appointments and todos for any month after the end of your agendio and then transfer the contents to your next planner when the current one ends. Each page is divided to offer a separate line for each day of the future month, so it’s easy to see if, for example, a future doctor’s appointment date conflicts with another activity.

You can see examples of our Future month page and other Extra pages in our Features section at https://agendio.com/features#extra

Up to now, you’ve been able to customize the line type and line spacing in your divisibles, as well as add checkboxes and shading. This has allowed you to customize in detail spaces to add your lists after you receive your agendio.

But what if you have an unchanging list of things you want to remember each week? For those of you who like that type of list, you can now add them to your divisibles.

Add your labels the same way you would do it in schedules if you change 12:00 to “Lunchtime” – You just click on “Labels” at the top of the divisibles customization panel and then write in each item one by one in the boxes.

You can still customize your divisible pagelets as you did before – This is a new feature on top of all the previous ones. So if you choose checkboxes and you add labels, you’ll get a checkbox on each line before your list item, so you can check it off when done.

And you can add multiple lists. For example, if you divide your divisible in four, you can add individual and separate lists to any or all of the four.

The lists will appear throughout your planner in their selected frequency. So if you add labels on the weekly layout of your monthly-weekly, they will appear each week in that divisible pagelet of your weekly layout for the duration of your agendio.

You will still also have the option of adding the pagelet label, the one you add now at the top of each pagelet. For example, you can now make a divisible section called “Fitness” and fill each line with your exercises or diet todos.

Note that if you change your line spacing to make it thinner, you’ll get more lines and more spaces for labels. If you make it thicker, you will have fewer lines and fewer spaces for labels.

Have fun playing with it and as always, let us know if you have any questions or suggestions.

We have updated the Builder so that you can now build multiple agendios at the same time side-by-side and compare!

Previously, if you did this, your browser may have mixed the content in different tabs. However, we have now upgraded our Builder to allow using multiple tabs on any up-to-date browser.

Start customizing your agendio in the Builder, then sign in (which you have to do once you start moving around in the Builder), then open another tab and select and customize a second agendio. You can go back and forth between them and compare until you decide – The two will remain independent and the data should not become corrupted. Just remember that you need to sign in before you add your second tab.

If you want to compare two versions of the same model, here’s a time-saving tip: Build and customize the first one then open a new tab but leave it empty. Go to your account, find the one you just customized and select Options/Copy. The system will copy your current one, with its customizations, into the Builder new tab. Now you can work on version 2 without having had to build it from scratch. Make sure you click copy, not Edit, because Copy will make a copy whereas with Edit you will work on the same planner in your tabs instead of working on different planners.

Once you decide on your preferred customization, close the other tabs, finish customizing on the remaining tab, add your agendio to your cart and you’re ready to purchase.

Has this ever happened to you? You customize your agendio and realize once you’re well-advanced that you want to change your configuration. Maybe you want to add monthly pages or maybe note pages after each week. And then you realize that you have to start over and re-customize the same layout. And it’s not that long to do, but it’s annoying, like getting to an intersection just as the light turns red.

Well, no need to do that anymore now that we have added the Agendio Models library! Most of you have used the Extra pages library, so you’ll be familiar with the idea: Like the Extra pages library, it’s a private library to which only you have access, where you can store your customized pages, so you don’t have to re-customize them completely from scratch.

Where do I see the models in my library?

When you are on the Models page, just after choosing your configuration, we now put models from your library at the top of the list, so you see them first. Select it the same way you select “regular” models now. When you get to the Builder, you’ll see that the layout contains all the labels and other customizations from before.

Please note that we will show you only those library models of the same size and frequency as the other ones on the models page. After all, there’s no point showing you Medium-size daily pages from your library (if you have any) if you’re busy choosing Large weekly pages.

You’ll also notice that to the right of the image of the model layout we add “FROM MODELS LIBRARY” and we include the planner name it resides in and the last date you customized it.

How do I add models to my library?

There are three ways to add them:

From the Builder: Let’s say you’re customizing a layout and decide to change your configuration and you want to add your work-in-progress version of that model to your library. There is now an “Add to Library” button at the top left of the Builder layout page to do that.

Please note that adding is “frequency-dependent”, which is just a big word to say that if you click “Add”, it will add only the layout you’re working on. If you’re customizing a Monthly-Daily and working on your daily layout and you click “Add”, it will add the Daily. If you want to add the Monthly, you need to switch to your monthly layout and add it separately.

From the models page: Let’s say you’re on the Models page and you customized some layouts previously, but they’re not in your library and you want to add them. Look to the left and you’ll see a box titled “My models library”.

Click on “What’s IN my library?” and you’ll see a list of what’s in your library and what you can add. The second list includes checkboxes for you to select the ones you want to add and a button to add them.

Please note that the list of what’s in your library is the full list, including all sizes and all frequencies, but the list of what you can add shows only models that fit the size and frequency of the Models page. This second list is filtered so you see only what you can import right now.

From your account: Scroll down to Products-Purchased or Products-Saved and then roll over “Options” and select “Add to Models Library”. Adding this way will add all layouts from that agendio to your library. So if it’s a monthly-weekly-daily insert, clicking “Add to Models Library” will add three layouts.

Can I add multiple versions of the same model to my library?

Yes you can. If you purchased model 32009 in each of the past three years, you can add all three variations of that model and they will each appear on their own slice on the models page.

Is there anything in my library now?

That depends on whether you have made a purchase. We have added to your library the customized layouts from planners you purchased before May 11, 2019. If that applies to you, then you should have at least one item in your library. Any purchases after that date, as well as all layouts that are customized but not purchased, we are leaving to you to decide if you want to add.

Can I delete from my library?

Yes you can, in two places: The first is on the models page, by clicking on the “X” to the right of the image.

The second is in the Builder: If you click “Add to library” from the Builder, the button then switches to “Remove from library”, so if you change your mind, you can simply click again and out it goes.

How long can I keep items in my library?

For now, we plan to remove items in libraries after two years if they have not been modified in that time. Like some old clothes that will never be worn, it’s important to not clutter up cupboards or databases.

Is there anything else I should remember?

Yes, one last important detail: You must be signed in to see your library, so we know who you are and what to show you.

As you know, there are no changes to an order once you have made your purchase. However, some customers have asked lately if that rule applies to shipping addresses, and if yes, can we change it.

We aim to please, so as of now, if you made a mistake in your shipping address, you can change it in your account.

Go to your account, scroll down to your purchases, find the one you wish to change, roll over “Options” on the right side and select “Order Details”. An input screen will pop up for you to re-enter the address.

Please note that you cannot change your address after your shipping label has been printed.

Once in a while, we receive an email asking about frequency mixes, such as do we offer monthly pages with our weeklies or can one get a daily with weekly pages. It seems that some customers don’t scroll down the configuration page, so they miss some options.

To make our options more visible, we’ve now added direct links within each category of the configuration page, so now all options will be even more clear.

So you can now scroll or link directly to your preferred type of configuration.

One of the great Agendio features is the ability to add your personal activities and events to your planner according to your schedule. But you have limited control if you want to show them on one page frequency, such as daily, but not on another, such as monthly. We have been asked if we can do something about this.

We aim to please, so we have now added the option to choose whether your activities, events and holidays will be printed on your monthly, weekly or daily pages. Not only that, we added the option to make that choice for each activity and each event.

We now provide you with checkboxes on each line where you enter your activities and events and you can fill them for each frequency according to your preferences. You can decide that “Clean bathrooms” goes on your daily pages every Saturday while “Backup computer” goes on your monthlies every 15th of the month while “Yoga” goes on both every Tuesday. Or you can show your anniversary date on your monthly, weekly and daily pages but birthdays only on weeklies.

With all this increased customization, we realized that you would benefit from some additional tools to keep track of what you customized: So we added a sorting feature that allows you to sort by frequency, or to keep similar items together in a manual sort by moving your entries manually up and down with the two headed arrows on the left of each screen.

We also upgraded our Holidays customization. Holidays work a little differently: You can assign the pages on which they appear, but only for the entire list. We feel this makes sense, because we can’t see a scenario where you would want some holidays on monthly pages and others on weekly pages. So for this option, the checkbox is at the top of your selected list on the right side.

Please note that in order to implement this update, we had to create new master files for each of your activities, events and holidays. So if you’ve created many different lists over the years, you may find that you want to delete some entries before your next purchase.

THANK YOU to everybody who filled in our review and/or survey. We have read every comment and made notes of what you have shared with us, and over this year we anticipate adding many new features related directly to your comments.

We’ve also decided to try something new: Your answers were so helpful that we’d like to do this again. However, like us, you don’t want to keep filling in surveys, so we came up with the following idea: Once in a while, we’ll send out a 1-question survey (that’s correct, just one) about one of our features, and each time we do that, we’ll give out a prize, such a gift certificate. The way we see it, one question takes nearly no time to answer but gives you a way to share your preferences, and that helps us make better products. In the next few weeks, we’ll try our first one.

In the beginning, we created the customizable weekly and monthly planners. We saw that they were good, so we created the customizable monthly-weekly.

And the customers enjoyed them so much, they asked why not a daily? So we created the customizable daily, from which came monthly-dailies and weekly-dailies.

And the customers rejoiced at these new offerings, so we created Extra pages, which begat WWNN and MMNNWW and all sorts of other configurations, which were then followed by Planning pages.

And the customers were very happy with all the choices they were now offered, but some customers felt something was missing. They pointed out that we offered monthlies, weeklies, dailies and every combination of two frequencies that were possible, but what about the last piece of the puzzle?

We eventually got the hint and now we are happy to announce that agendio has added monthly-weekly-daily planners!

We currently offer two varieties, a monthly spread-weekly spread-daily on six pages (MMWWDDDDDX), and a monthly spread-single weekly page-daily on seven pages (MMWDDDDDDD).

You can see both of them on the configuration page in the Dailies section.
